Nice hour spent trimming a Lamb leg. I trim off most of the fat then cut the meat into 5-8 oz chunks to use in Currys and Stir frys. The trimmings get cooked up and mixed into the dogs meals a little at a time. I put one batch of Lamb into a pyrex so I can make Lamb Biryani tomorrow night. I wasted no part of the leg.

Crusted halibut sandwich with carmeliezed onions and peppercorn chipotle mayo. Did not suck.

Sautéed scallops, garlic, butter, olive oil and lemon, with long grain wild rice and roasted carrots.
dredged the scallops in corn starch, made the texture flat out amazing. Family ate too quick for pics because it smelled so good...

Isn't it like peanut butter, coconut milk and a crap load of garlic?

I have really streamlined my food requirements. From gathering to execution. Firstly bang for the buck. Veggies and grains are my primary staples. Turkey in chop form and Chicken parts are my primary proteins. Pork Loins are my splurge. Frozen Talapia fillets and Rice also. Food budget is way down also.

My food budget is down $$$$$ since I've stopped eating out a few nights a week.
Tonight made grilled pork chops, roasted 'tatos and green beans. BURP. so good.

Yep. I pretty much follow the Zuni Café method, which involves a dry brine and then oven roasting at high heat. The basic technique is pretty simple. The dry brine really makes a huge difference in flavor, texture, and crispy skin.
Isn't that just a rub?

Yeah yeah SS, I get it. But whoa, prices have gone up. It was around $4K at the time, part of a package deal with other (less fancy) appliances. Sorry not sorry.

JM, yeah pretty much the same as a dry rub, but just S&P. There's some science behind it - it first pulls moisture out, but if you give it enough time it then draws the moisture back in, with the seasoning, so the bird is flavored throughout, and it also changes protein structure in a way I like. I do it with pretty much all meat if I can think far enough ahead (but not ground meat, which turns to mush).

Finally got around to making some enchiladas. Might have put too much cheese and green sauce? Idk?

They smell good... roasted a bigass poblano pepper for them beforehand.

Half of them..
